Crosman Stinger P311 Airsoft Pistol Review

The Stinger P311 airsoft gun is a look-alike of the famous Colt 1911; from the block iron sights, to the uncomplicated look of the gun. At only $ten-$20 (depending on where you buy it), this pistol also packs a punch.

One of the absurd features of the Stinger P311 is the hammer. Almost airsoft guns don't take hammers, merely lately Crosman (the maker of this gun) has been incorporating them into their pistols, adding to the realism. When you lot pull the slide back the hammer gets artsy back also, just like a real gun. You tin can manually pull back the hammer, too, and information technology'll just snap back in place when you pull the trigger; although it won't fire if yous exercise that, since you have to pull the slide back to get it loaded. So, actually, the whole bespeak of the hammer is only ornament.

This pistol likewise packs a punch, for what it's worth. It shoots 325 FPS, which is just nearly as high as it goes with spring pistols (without modifying information technology, that is).

A problem, though, with the Stinger P311 is the hop-up is nonadjustable, which means you're stuck with all the same tight information technology was wound in the manufactory. Basically, at ranges over 30 anxiety, the Stinger P311 tends to shoot straight for about 20 feet, so take a dramatic turn either become left/correct/upwardly/downwardly. You can't really count this every bit a "con", though, because almost every pistol is going to have the same problem, more than or less. A solution to this problem is to shoot .twenty gram Bulletin board system; they're heavier than the regular .12 gram, so they tend to bend less. In really bad cases of curving Bulletin board system, y'all could even utilize .25 gram.

Some other flaw is that information technology'south big, which would be a problem if you wanted to stick it in your pocket or something. Just, this is some other non issue, considering you lot can get a holster for under $ten. Besides, in the world of spring pistols, in order to have loftier FPS, it has to exist a large gun.

For it'southward cost, the Stinger P311 has very nice workings. The slide pulls back apace and cleanly, which results in shorter time between shots. The magazine as well ejects out very quickly. With some airsoft pistols yous have to push button the mag release while shaking the gun to get the magazine to fall out. The Stinger P311'due south mag springs out, which also makes for quick reload times. The flaws in the mag are that is has no reserve, which means you lot might desire to purchase extra clips, due to not being able to refill from the magazine itself. Likewise, if you can't exercise tactical reloads, because (if yous accept out the magazine while information technology still has Bulletin board system left in it) a couple BBs will fall out, all over the ground.

And, some other function to recollect virtually is the safety. Information technology's located on the left side, just above the grip. It'south shaped like a triangle, and information technology pivots on one of the points. You lot flip it up and down to plow on and off the safety. Because of its weird design, not many people are used to it, so it doesn't feel natural to plough off/on the safety. Some people similar the blueprint, and some people hate information technology, information technology's upwardly to your personal preference.

To conclude, the Stinger P311 is a great sidearm for both target shooting and airsoft matches. It boasts a high FPS, only is best used at ranges under 30-forty feet. Too, retrieve about ownership a holster and some heavier ammo forth with this gun. Factoring in the toll, functioning, and overall utility of the Stinger P311, it's i of my favorite spring pistols to use.
